This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.

Decisions about site policies on clothing are a matter for individual site managers, not the Government or House of Commons. You can read the Health and Safety Executive's guidance on PPE for construction workers here: www.hse.gov.uk/construction/faq-ppe.htm
